What'cha doing air gun related today?

[Hylander]

Took out my two Pinty Tacticals and my Zelos for a short range session this morning @ 25yds.
All three are @ 2100 psi.
The two Pinty's have the hammer spring maxed.
Wheather is 42*, light fog and mist.
So far the Pinty's only like JTS 16.08 pellets, nothing heavier and 27gr. H&N slugs, go figure
My Zelos eats everything so far.
All groups are 5 shots.

Interesting. Not JTS 18.1gr or Baracuda Hunter Extremes? I contemplated the 25 and 27 gr slugs when I was doing my order today. Probably should have went with the 25, but did 30gr. Those Zelos groups look great.

 

[Hylander]

Groups are almost double the size with 18 gr.

 

[PapaT]

Interesting. My Timber loves the JTS 18.1s, and most have found the hunter extremes a favorite in the Thumpers. Just proves every gun is different for sure.

Notos tuned for barn rat duty. 100 bar reg and my clipped hammer spring. It’s at 10 FPE.
Lots of scope switching today.
Notos got the Pard NV008s
Leshiy got the Pard DS35
Zelos got the Athlon Heras 2-12

In the shelf
Athlon 10x42
Veyron 10x44

I shot my Notos at 12 yards this evening from inside my screen room out to the yard. It’s a windy cool night (Florida cold 65degrees)

Cleaned the barrel of my S510 and Sniper.

Then changed out the breach o-ring on my Taipan, I watched a video on how but decided that I didn’t want to remove the barrel so I removed the probe housing (2 screws, easy off and easy on) used two dental sticks, no issues.

Day 13 of airgun Advent, and the grinch almost won. Beautiful day in the mid-50s with light wind. I got home later than expected in the afternoon, but got everything setup to pellet test my Daisy 880 at the 10 meter line. I had even cleaned up leaves and picked up some spent lead from previous sessions. As I was about to setup camera to start recording, my 2nd child called to tell me someone was at the house for some work. By the time they left the sun had set, and the opportunity was gone. Thus my grinchy attitude began to settle in. I was actually preparing to climb in bed with that attitude when I remembered the point of my Advent is to keep the grinch away. So I grabbed rifle, pellets, and a challenge target and headed out to drive the grinch off. Mission successful, and this is my encouragement for everyone to watch out for your own grinchiness.

Wise words PapaT!

Picked up a BB gun to run a fun competition at work for my employees. They always get super into it. I shot a few over the chrono, since it’s been out trying to get my P35 tuned. The Marlin consistently shot in the low 280’s.
I settled on this target. It will be standing at 7 yards. This target keeps it fun for all.

Limited space in the backyard, so had to get “creative” to get a longer shot. Dining area through the great room, out the sliding door to targets at back wall gets me 26 yards. Not great, but gets in some shooting time.

Not with my shakiness, mama would get me for hitting walls or door.

I kept the 177 going today with a springer and pcp.

I ran this by my wife and it was a hard no
For some reason she figures I'm going to bounce the pellets of the wall. But that's what spackle is for, right?

Lol! Just thinking of how the look on her face was when this was asked.

I also was 177 today, but mostly because it's Tuesday. That means that today was Pistol Packing Papa Tuesday for Day 16 of Airgun Advent with the Beeman P17.

I took some time to shoot various pellets and slugs with the Zelos on factory tune.

Fx 18.1 1007.4

JSB Lights 961

JSB 25 900.8

MRD 899.4

Hades heavy 898.2

JSB KO 25.4 .217 901

Fx hybrid 928

NSA 23gr 217 910

I had a bunch of air potato’s in my yard, collected them and shot with KO slugs.
I played around with the Labradar app also. I have some more work to do with that.
For pellets the MRD and Monster Hades performed great.

 

[Florida_Man]

I'll be happy to have a bottle on this thing for testing phase. If my external reg wasn't currently tuned for my Chief II I would have tethered.

I put my new Zulus v2 on the EQ and got a quick little zero on it. Hopefully I’ll be able to get all the ballistics dialed in on Friday so I can put that LRF to good use. Excited to join the world of single button shooting solutions

I picked up two cases filled with guns from my brother, to use in my airgun Advent. I was going to shoot his Gamo today, but ran out of daylight so guess it will be another nighttime pistol shoot with his American Classic on back porch in a bit. I also need to get his Pinty Thumper fixed, so I can shoot it.

 

[PapaT]

Forgot I didn't mean to shoot the Gamo Maxxim today, but did it already so oh well. Had a nice smokescreen backyard plinking. Let it carve a tiny pumpkin up, shot the mushroomed 457 slug out of the griddle plate it was stuck in, bells, fish and more. Pleasant 60 shots for giggles.

For shooting my slingshot through the house I have just enough space for ten meters. Standing in the living room the shot goes through the kitchen, hallway, laundry room and back room to the back wall.
